Combs: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you come to Combs?
We do. We send a technician to Combs for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Combs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Combs
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
